In 2016, Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday" dress (sketched by Bob Mackie and created by Jean Louis) was auctioned off for $4.8 million, the highest ever paid for a dress. It is one of the most famous pieces of American iconography to exist. Today, Zach is joined by guest, Paul Walsh, of The Valley of the Dolls Podcast, to discuss the story behind the dress, the performance, and the lasting impact of a pop culture mega-moment. Let's talk all about the weekend Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday" to the President in NYC. SOURCES: Marilyn Monroe: The Biography The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe by J.
